Guiding you to the best value on the market.

Finding an aircraft for sale with the use of the internet is easy. Knowing it's a good value is not. Thinking of asking a pilot friend to assist in your search? Imagine what happens when you take a kid to the candy store. When it comes to finding the right aircraft for you -- for your needs -- you need an experienced, independent professional that can walk you down the right path and jump over the potential pitfalls.

As a partner in your new or used aircraft purchase, we step you through a systematic process that assures the best value. We are not employed to sell you anything. Our entire focus is on helping you purchase the airplane that best fits your need.

Here's what we do:

• Aircraft Selection: We analyze your mission, flying profile and budget to recommend the model aircraft, year and equipment that will best suit your needs.
• Market Search: Our industry relationships and real-time data far exceeds the market search capable of the web or an individual buyer. Access to the global marketplace, aircraft that aren't yet listed and current aircraft owners, assures we'll uncover a hidden treasure.
• Aircraft Evaluation: Time to zero-in on each aircraft by evaluating airframe, engine, component times and inspection status. Avionics, damage, service compliance and genealogy.
• Technical Review and Market Valuation: This is the most important service that will minimize the risks associated with purchasing an aircraft. We have the experience to define the workscope to get the max value out of a pre-purchase inspection and avoid costly items that could be easily overlooked.
• Offer Price and Negotiation: Remember, we're on your side. As your representative, we'll help define a reasonable purchase price and negotiate on your behalf.
• Documentation and Closing: It's not done until the last "i" is dotted and "t" crossed with the FAA, title companies, finance divisions and associated parties.

In addition to our Acquisition services the Axis Jet team has extensive experience in both brokerage and management. To learn more about how we can make your aircraft purchase and management efficient and successful visit our Brokerage and Management pages.

Success Story: Plummer-Tiehm Auto Group

As the owners of one of the largest Cadillac Buick Chevrolet Pontiac GMC dealerships in the country, Dennis Plummer and Mike Tiehm are seasoned tradesmen in the purchase of used vehicles. But when it came to the purchase of the corporation's first jet, the pair decided to enlist the assistance of an independent party.

"It was the best move we could have made" says Plummer, an experienced pilot. "Axis Jet's services were invaluable. Matt Bosco was extremely knowledgeable."

Plummer-Tiehm's aircraft search began with the selection of make and model. A Citation 550 was determined for the best fit for the company's mission; primarily trips throughout the West Coast. After an extensive aircraft evaluation, the search included a cross-country trip for on-site inspection of three aircraft; two of which were over-represented. The final negotiations included an in-depth pre-buy which ended up saving Plummer-Tiehm thousands of dollars through the process.

"Matt's service was invaluable," adds Plummer. "I learned that an airplane can eat up much more money than the expense of an acquisition fee. You're just being short-sighted if you don't do it. We are a very, very satisfied customer."
